Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has reacted to his side’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final which ended their dreams of a quadruple this season.
Chelsea qualified for the final of the FA Cup on Saturday defeating Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0.
Hakim Ziyech scored the only goal of the game, tapping into an unguarded net from Timo Werner’s cross.
Chelsea now awaits winner of the game between Leicester City and Southampton which comes up tomorrow.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola admitted that Chelsea deserved their victory, but refused to blame his selection.
“When you have two-and-a-half days to recover and you have to play away and travel for longer than three hours, everyone deserves to play.
“But don’t say we don’t pay attention. The team arrives in the final stages of all competitions, you couldn’t say that. When this team won three or four finals in a row in the Carabao Cup. Just say we lost the game. When you lose the game the decisions are bad, but it is a poor argument my friend. It’s so poor.
“It was a tight game, we were not able to win, congratulations to Chelsea, Chelsea’s a top side.”
